ABSTRACT:
A sports analysis device for use by at least one user in conjunction with observation of an actual sporting event comprises a keyboard for selecting a responsive play strategy deemed by the user(s) to be a play strategy appropriate for implementation at a given point in the actual sporting event, and for entering into the device data indicating the actual play and results occurring in the sporting event. A memory memorizes the play strategies and/or results, while a processor processes/analyzes the selected strategies in accordance with the actual play results so as to evaluate the effectiveness of each user in selecting a respective play strategy. A display displays feedback messages apprising each user of the evaluated effectiveness. Other features of the device include the ability to select a given degree of performance with respect to which the effectiveness of each user is evaluated, the ability to select one of a plurality of configurations, the ability to select the number of users to use the device, and the ability to select a desired array of available strategies from which to choose when selecting respective play strategies. The device is preferably equipped with a keypad scanner which is removable and interchangeable so as to convert the device from one type of sporting event to another.
